Issues with removing layers from Legend in ArcGIS Pro 3.6

Teri_Dane — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 20:26:29 GMT

I recently installed Arc Pro 3.6 and noticed that when I remove layers from my legend in the Contents pane, they do not remain removed when I reopen my project. I do not want to individually turn off or change property settings for multiple layers that I permanently do not want in my legend. Is there a way to fix this, or is this a new bug with Pro 3.6?

Hi there, when using version 3.5 did you notice this behaviour? If not, this may be a bug as you have suggested. It would be worth reaching out to your local Esri distributor and have them test this for you to determine if it is a bug or not.

Hi @ShaneONeill_144 ,

This was not an issue with 3.5.x.

@Teri_Dane This is a bug that was introduced at 3.6. We are aiming to have this fixed in the first service pack, 3.6.1.

@Teri_Dane The schedule is still tentative at the moment, so I can't guarantee the release date. But we are aiming for mid to late December.
